A cloaking device (or cloak) is a form of stealth technology.
It uses selective bending of light, and other forms of energy, to render a starship or other object completely invisible to the electromagnetic spectrum, and most sensors.
In order to function, a cloaking device needs to be tied into a ship's deflector shield grid.
Due to the enormous amount of power required to generate a cloaking field, there is usually not enough power available to also power the weapons and shields.
- However, there have been several times when advances in cloaking technology have made this possible.
